Living the Principle: Never Forget
- Offer a prayer of gratitude for the first responders, military members, and everyday heroes who sacrificed on September 11. Ask God for strength to follow their example through selfless service.
- Step away from divisive news and political commentary on Patriot Day. Spend that time studying messages about healing, forgiveness, peace, and unity.
- Honor those who served by donating blood, thanking a first responder, or reaching out to someone who feels forgotten. Let their courage inspire a quiet act of service that strengthens your community.
